However, Selina was not the passive type. She glared at Matthew as she fiercely ground her teeth. "As expected, old men like you are sly perverts. I was right, you're definitely one of those greasy middle-aged

men."

Matthew was speechless.

He felt like he had been hit with a fatal blow. Come to think of it, every blow hit him so hard had come from Selina.

It was true that he was much older than Selina, but he was only in his thirties. He wasn't old, let alone greasy! Seeing the look of disdain on Selina's face, Matthew sighed.

His eyes, which were deeper than the ocean, looked at Selina. "Selina, do you really see me that way?"

Selina was stunned.

His gaze was as deep as a black hole, yet it was so clear that Selina could see her own reflection in his eyes.

Selina's mood was affected by Matthew's stare. Suddenly, she felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

She barely knew this man, yet Matthew had asked her this question as if they were old friends. Looking into his eyes, it even seemed like Selina held a special place in his heart. He seemed to care about Selina's opinion of him.

Selina was a little confused.

The truth was, she had just blurted it out without giving it much thought. She had been pampered since young, so she never gave it much thought before saying or doing something. Looking into Matthew's eyes, she suddenly felt a little sorry.

However, her pride stopped her from apologizing.

She remained silent.

The heavy door was opened again.

Natalie raised her head.

Seeing the person in front of her, Natalie's gaze darkened.

It wasn't Tobias, but Remington again.

Every time she heard the door open, she had always fantasized that it would be Tobias coming in. However, every single time, she was disappointed.

Natalie looked away.

She didn't want to see Remington.

This man, whom she once regarded as her best friend, had now become the person she hated the most.

"Natalie, he's found this place. He's come to save you," Remington said.

There was a hint of coldness in his voice.

Natalie's whole body trembled.

She turned her head in disbelief and stared at Remington. "T... Tobias is here?!"

There was a flash of fierceness in Remington's eyes. "Women are utterly unreliable. I shouldn't have worked with Yuna from the start."

It was impossible for Tobias to replace the place where Remington had hidden Natalie unless someone had told him.

The only one who knew was Yuna.

There was a flash of ecstasy in Natalie's eyes.

Remington's statement confirmed her suspicions that Yuna knew he had imprisoned her here all along.

Tobias must have guessed it. He probably tracked Yuna down and forced her to tell him Natalie's location.

Immense excitement filled up Natalie's whole body.

She was going to be saved. Tobias had finally come to rescue her.

The man she had been longed for, Tobias, had finally arrived.

Natalie was so excited that she couldn't help but get out of bed. However, her energy was drained. She fell to the ground immediately as soon as she got out.

Ever since she had been kept captive here, the drugs Remington had given her had probably made her muddled. Her body was weak in the first place, not to mention that she had gone on a hunger strike to rebel against Remington.

Seeing Natalie fall onto the ground in a sorry state, a dim light flashed across Remington's eyes.

"Natalie." Remington shook his head. "Do you really miss him that much? You couldn't help but run the moment you heard that he's coming."

He walked slowly towards Natalie.

Natalie struggled to get up, but she did not have any strength.

Remington squatted down and looked at Natalie's face. "Natalie, tell me, do you like him that much?"

A trace of imperceptible sadness could be heard

in his tone.

Natalie looked at Remington and said firmly, "Yes, I like him very much. I was overwhelmed with excitement when I heard that he was coming. Let me go now if you still have even the slightest bit of conscience left. You still have a chance to turn back."

"A chance to turn back?" Remington scoffed, his tone extremely disdainful. "Things have already come this far, do you still think that there is any chance to turn back? There's been no turning back since the moment I kidnapped you. I just didn't expect..."

Remington paused for a while, looking at her strangely. "I didn't expect Tobias to replace us so quickly."

The fact that Tobias could replace this place so quickly was beyond Remington's expectations. It was so fast that Remington hadn't even had the chance to marry Natalie yet.

That was right, the reason why he had trapped Natalie here was to make her his wife.

Natalie's husband should have been him.

He had planned to decorate the house to fit the joyous occasion.

However, he had to guard Natalie. On the other hand, he also had to prevent his location from being exposed. Therefore, he hadn't gotten the chance to decorate even after so many days.

He had initially thought that there was a lot of time to do so.

He didn't expect Tobias to replace them so quickly.

There was an odd look in Remington's eyes.

He picked Natalie up, who had fallen onto the ground, and held her in his arms.

Natalie was very light. It didn't take much effort at all.

Remington smirked, "Natalie, you're so light, too light. I can barely feel anything holding you in my arms. He's definitely treated you badly. How could you be so skinny if he had treated you well? As long as you're mine, I'll definitely feed you well to make you cute and chubby."

Natalie said firmly, "You're wrong, Remington. What matters when you're with someone isn't how full your stomach is, but how fulfilled your soul is. I'm happy when I'm with Tobias, and that is all that matters." Remington's gaze froze slightly. "Aren't you happy when you are with me?"

"No, I'm not happy at all!" Natalie stared at Remington. "I'm not willing to be with you at all, not even for a minute, not even for a second."

There was a hint of hurt in Remington's eyes. He lowered his voice. "But Natalie, remember the times when you were willing to joke around with me? You even cooked for me back in the day! Have you forgotten?"

Countless emotions rippled across Natalie's gaze when she heard Remington's words.

That was all in the past.

They had a good relationship back then. Those were the days that Natalie treated Remington as her friend.

At that time, they were still a pair of friends who could mess around and have fun. How had they ended up like this in the blink of an eye?
